You can attach references with Relative Path type for unnamed files. The current path type is not accessible, which lets you know which path type is current.

The Change Path Type option in the External References palette now reflects the current path type when a single external reference is selected.

When you save the host drawing in a new location, you are prompted to update the relative paths for the external references. When you fix the path for a missing external reference, you can now apply the same path for other missing reference files. Additional capabilities include the following: Two new path options are available: Select New Path, and Find and Replace. The default path type for external references is now set to Relative.

In addition, automatic save functionality is updated so that saves are most often performed incrementally rather than performing full saves, which are slower. Objects that will experience the greatest improvement include blocks with annotation scaling, Mtext with columns and other newer formatting, as well as attributes and attribute definitions with multilines. Many of these vulnerabilities have now been closed." Save performance Additionally, 3D solid and surface creation now uses the newest geometric modeler (ASM), which provides improved security and stability."Ī comment by Autodesk employee Dieter Schlaepfer on this blog post: "The word security refers specifically to emerging problems in many formats where criminal, mercenary, and state-sponsored hackers doctor data files in targeted software that execute code when opened (using buffer overflow and other techniques). The DXF file format is new as well.Īccording to AutoCAD's help: "The DWG format has been updated to provide improvements in the efficiency of open and save operations, especially for drawings that contain many annotative objects and viewports.
